Fixing a Massive Hole in Drywall

[Johnny Rockets]

Maybe search Craiglist for a cheap handyman service that might be an out of work contruction guy instead hiring a company. Just be careful who you pick.

Hookers are cheaper through Craiglist so I would think a Handyman service should be also.

Pay him when the work is done, not before or halfway.

Putting up drywall for the first time is kind of like having sex for the first time. It most likely won't turn out as you planned.

And you cry afterwards?

I've said too much.

[Hawk]

fix it yourself or give man card to handy man when he comes to do it for you.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Just leave it. Show your landlord and say, "U Mad".

[bleys]

you'll kick yourself after watching a professional do such an easy job when you pull out the money to pay him...

Edit: follow Kitten Diver's directions..

check out a DIY youtube video...

See, now i wonna punch a hole in my wall just to fix it :)

[Hawk]

blame it on your neighbor...it's the huddle thing to do

[Johnny Rockets]

Don't listen to them....you will fug it all up and then wind up hiring someone after wasting your time and money.

Bleys is obviously a professional contractor and builds mansions and corporate buildings all over the East Coast and Hawk is Canadian and not to be trusted.

*Edit* - Bleys took down his step by step Bob Vila instructions?

OK cut out your screen in one of your windows. Nail it to the drywall and spackle relentlessly. That's how a G does it.
